Overview: This book concerns measuring reading skills. It is not meant to be a compre­ hensive survey of reading research or a review of all possible approaches to reading measurement (although considerable attention is given to both subjects).

Overview: The dream of developing a biocomputer should not be dismissed as a sheer fantasy. Although there is naturally some doubt as to whether it is possible to design a computer using carbon-based components as in living organisms, instead of silicon-based components as in existing computers, the fact that an average brain often outperforms the most sophisticated computer in terms of the complexity of tasks, if not in terms of speed, is a living testimony to this possibility. The remaining question is to what extent a biocomputer can mimic a living organism and whether it is possible to des
